Layouts and such
Posted within life, online and writing
I don't know how many times I have created a new layout for this place only to put it on the back burner. I really should make up my mind on what I want. At first, I wanted color since I always designed something quite dark. I guess that is because I reflect what my mood is and during the winter and fall seasons, I get very down for I hate the cold. However, even now the colors are starting to get to me. Too bright, too dull, not enough color, too much color. That is all I keep saying to myself, and that is what causes me to not finish a layout.
i think that is one of the reasons why I haven't open up my portfolio into something better. One, I would like to get another domain name. I just really cannot think of a name to save me. There were two names I was going to go with, but one got bought two days before I decided to finally buy it. Another, which I thought I created myself, is actually a real name and used for something. So, now I am back at square one, and I am coming close to a dead line that really needs to be finished.
Speaking of such, the company's layout is completely done and the owner loves it. I just need to help her with a transfer of the domain so that I have complete control of it. She is allowing me to do the updates and everything. I guess she trusts me since I know more about web designing, but I think deals with the fact that she is my aunt. The only good thing is that she is paying each month to do the updates.
I really haven't been doing much online lately, except for re-watching a few animes that I haven't watched in a long time. For some odd reason, I started working on my fanfiction. I don't know if they will be finished or not, but I am glad to have some of my writing muse back. Now, I just need for it to return back for my fiction.
I think that is about all for now. Not much of an update, but heck, I wanted to put something new here. I am lacking on my update parts. I guess that is due to the fact that nothing is changing anymore. Same thing day in and day out. I go to work, come home, go to sleep, and do the same thing over. Oh well, I guess that is life.
Getting things together
Posted within life, offline and online
Wow, June is already over with. Summer seems to be flying away already, and what do I have to show. Absolutely nothing. I think work has been getting me down since I have been so tired of working there. I am still trying to look for a different job, but I keep thinking that maybe I will have a better chance once I graduate.
Anyways, I have been getting things back together around things offline and online. Most of it is happening online, though. I have been asked about two years ago to design a layout for a company. This company belongs to my aunt, but it is still a company and the best part? It is a paying company that is paying me to design their site. For the longest time, I kept putting the design off. I don't even know why I wanted to do that. Anyways, my boyfriend convinced me one day to go ahead and just do it. For one, I would be getting extra money, and two, it would be good experience that would look good on a resume. Well, with all that, I actually completed a website that I am actually proud of doing. The design is really good, and everything is html valid.
There are a few other things that I want to get done online, but that is almost on a hold point. For one, I need a name. Without a name, there is no moving forward. The best I can do is design the site, put the information together, and wait for a name to come for. Sounds alright, but I hate designing without a name. With a name, I can think about a lot of things. Basically, that project has been put on a hold till the name comes, but I am sure it will be an interesting project once it gets started.
I think everything that I have been trying to get back together is online. Offline isn't exactly perfect. I have been out of school for over a month now, and I basically have nothing to show for it. I don't do anything except for work. Ya, I went to the lake last weekend, but it wasn't a thrilling experience. Sure, there were some good points, but everything didn't go as I thought it would go. We were home pretty early since none of us slept good. Other than that, I had been busy working for the rest of the time.
The Wild West Festival is here at my town, but I probably won't be doing anything with it. I think my boyfriend and I might be going down to it just to walk around, but there will be no rides for me. I don't think my stomach can handle the rides that come each year. I wish I could go to the concerts that were coming, though. John Michael Montgomery is coming this year, and I bet it is going to be a blast.
I think I still have the fair to look forward to, but after that, I am kind of hoping school comes quickly. I need a change of scenery once work takes over too long. Sad part? After this semester coming up, that is all I will have. I wonder how I am going to survive something like that. Oh well, I guess I will find out.
Anyways, that is about it. There are some movies that I am looking forward to seeing. I saw Toy Story 3 on Monday. That was a good movie, but a sad one. It was a good conclusion to the trilogy. I guess that wraps up everything that has been happening. Maybe I will remember to get an update with a more perkier topic.
